"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tom Brady is switching teams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The New England Patriots superstar quarterback recently signed an endorsement deal with Under Armour after his apparel contract with Nike expired last summer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Under Armour's everything I was looking for,'' Brady said. \"It's cool. It's fun. It's what so many of the kids are wearing, and I like to try to stay cutting-edge. I like the company. I think we've got a lot in common. We both want to stay hungry, stay humble.''&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brady is the first superstar quarterback to sign with Under Armour, the 14-year-old Maryland outfitter that is one-20th the size of Nike. He will appear in Under Armour commercials and print ads starting early in 2011.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brady is not only joining Under Armour as a contracted endorser, but also is getting a financial stake in the company. \"Tom is a shareholder in Under Armour,'' said 38-year-old company founder and CEO Kevin Plank. \"Equity was a part of our deal. That was important to Tom, that [a stake in the company] was a part of the deal.''&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brady joins Ray Lewis, Michael Phelps and Lindsey Vonn as the biggies in Under Armour's stable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"At this point in my career, it's got to be about a product I believe in,\" Brady said. \"I felt there wasn't anything better out there. This is such a young company to be where they are. This kind of tells you where the market's at.''&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
